The gadget gallery now has an RSS feed of the latest gadgets:

Add it to your reader and be sure to tell all your friends. You could even write a new gadget about new gadgets.

Codename Matrix said...: The feed will use the location of the reader as the default locale so if you use a web-reader which is located in a different country than you it will set the language of the country the webserver is located. To set a specific locale append the parameter ?hl=de (de is for german, but you can use any other valid language here ?hl=fr would be french):
